ABOUT US

Jumuiya Women Fund (JWF)

Jumuiya Women Fund (JWF), originally founded as Jumuiya Women Group in 2001 as a Community-Based Organization, was incorporated in February 2019 as a company limited by guarantee under the legal name “Jumuiya Women Fund Ltd.” With its operational headquarters in Eldoret, Kenya, JWF is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing women’s rights and development.

Our Work: JWF leverages grant making, institutional capacity strengthening, influencing philanthropy, impact investing, feminist crisis response, and resource mobilization to deliver impactful outcomes for women and girls. Initially focused on direct implementation of poverty alleviation efforts, our approach has evolved to an enabler model, working with diverse women-led community groups and organizations to address structural causes of poverty and gender inequality.
We empower Women and Girls Rights Organizations, Networks, Movements, and Social Enterprises across thematic areas including Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV), Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights (SRHR), Economic Empowerment & Rights, Climate Change and Sustainable Livelihoods, Feminist Movement & Leadership, Technology and Innovations, and Feminist Response to Crisis.
Rooted in the community, JWF collaborates directly with women and girls in severe poverty, strengthening their capacity, mobilizing support, and advocating to challenge structural causes of inequality. We stand in solidarity with women’s struggles against poverty and inequality, working together to secure a dignified life and achieve gender equality and empowerment.
